    That puts it mildly. The first basis for impeaching Nixon was his staff's effort to deflect FBI investigation of the Watergate breakin. https://t.co/vTkkhhXfY7— Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) February 24, 2017

    The FBI rejected a recent White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump’s associates and Russians known to US intelligence during the 2016 presidential campaign, multiple US officials briefed on the matter tell CNN.

        The bit that English newspapers never seem to mention in their rush to condemn Corbyn and bag the UK Labour Party is that the Blairite rump of the party that still holds sway in Scotland is sitting at 14% in the polls and isn’t even standing enough candidates in the up-coming local elections (being held in May) to gain control of all the councils where it’s standing (assuming all their candidates were voted in).

        Dumping Corbyn and tacking the UK Party back to a ‘New Labour’ path would be such a good idea given the evidence on the ground, aye?
